On the emotional season 10 premiere of ‘The Bachelorette,’ Chris Harrison paid a sweet tribute to contestant Eric Hill, who died in a tragic accident after his time was over on the show. So, we’re absolutely shocked and disgusted that anyone would make a joke of such a sad occasion.

‘The Bachelorette’ Season Dedicated To Eric Hill

During the premiere, Chris Harrison paid a beautiful tribute to Eric, who died on April 23 when paragliding in Utah, just a few weeks after he had stopped filming The Bachelorette.

“Throughout the years many hundreds of men and women have come on this show in search of love, and they’ve all become a part of what we consider part of this family,” Chris said, as a montage of photos was shown of Eric and his adventures. “At this time, we’d like to take a moment to honor one of these men — our friend, Eric Hill. Eric passed away shortly after concluding his filming o this show. In the coming weeks, you’ll see Eric was a vibrant man. Every day he impressed us with his passion and courageous spirit. He will be greatly missed, and we dedicate this season, to him.”
